Sons of Eli “sons of Belial”, “knew not God”

Worthless men – ungodly Sons of hell

Outward ceremonies Even though they were outwardly acting as servants of the Lord, they did not in

reality know and serve Him. The worship ceremony was so empty and degraded that open selfishness and greed altered the rules of the offerings. The sons of Eli took all of the offerings they could get, and instead of taking the allotted pieces after the prescribed offering to the Lord had been made, they selected the best cuts first. The worshipers were forced to comply. The sin of the young men was very great before the LORD.

father" (1 Samuel 2:25) "The sin of the young men was very great in

Widescreen PresentationThis template is formatted with a 16:9 “widescreen” aspect ratio. It’s a great way to take advantage of laptops, televisions and projectors equipped with widescreen displays.

Even if you do not have a widescreen display, you can still create and present 16:9 slides. PowerPoint’s Slide Show always resizes your slides to fit any screen.

Widescreen Advantages

Side by side material fits more naturally.

Widescreen adds drama to graphics and images.

Widescreen Graphics

Even a single graphic, such as a chart, can be presented more dramatically in widescreen.

Widescreen PicturesPictures can also be presented more dramatically in widescreen.

Creating 16:9 Presentations

To setup a widescreen presentation, do one of the following: Start with this template. Simply

delete the example slides and add your own content.

Or, go to the Design tab and open the Page Setup Dialog. Click the Slide Size dropdown and pick On-screen Show (16:9) (Note: we also support 16:10, which is a common widescreen laptop resolution. )

Important: Always start with your slide size set to the aspect ratio you intend to use. If you change the slide size after you’ve created some slides, your pictures and other graphics will be resized. This could potentially distort their appearance.

Slide Show Tips To present in true widescreen, you’ll

need a computer and, optionally, a projector or flat panel that can output widescreen resolutions.

Common computer widescreen resolutions are 1280 x 800 and 1440 x 900. (These are 16:10 aspect ratio, but will work well with 16:9 projectors and screens.)

Standard high definition televisions resolutions are1280 x 720 and 1920 x 1080.

Use the Test Pattern on the next slide to verify your slide show settings.
